A Pakistani court has issued a non-bailable arrest warrant for Imran Khan, the chairman of the political party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, over alleged use of threatening language against a judge. In August last year, the federal capital police accused the former prime minister of breaching Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act regarding his comments against the judge. Khan’s party filed a petition to exempt him from appearing in court during the present hearing, but the Senior Civil Judge, Rana Mujahid Rahim warned that non-bailable arrest warrants would be issued if Khan failed to attend. Consequently, the court instructed police to arrest and present Khan before the court by 29 March 2018. Earlier this year, Khan expressed regret for his remarks against Judge Zeba Chaudhry, and stated his support for women’s rights in Pakistan. Khan’s party has previously led calls for an independent judiciary in the country, following allegations of corruption against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
